One little traveler.... One dead traveler

Chapter 3 - Revenge for the dead

3rd person POV -

Katheryne was feeling strange.

This was weird because she wasn't programmed to feel strange. Or anything at all, but that stopped because of Aether.

The first time she met him, she was functioning normally.

This kept on changing over the course of the next few months, and before she knew it, Katheryne was attached to him and his little floating friend.

Then there was the other weird feeling.

A sudden hatered for all who forced the traveler to take comissions.

Katheryne reported all this when she went to get he maintainence, but they couldn't find anything wrong with her.

Apparently she was evolving. All because of her new friend.

As Katheryne returned to her post in Mondstadt, she found out about what happened to the traveler.

Her system instantly went rouge and left the spot at the adventurer's guild to look for Paimon and Aether.

Unfortunately she found them.

Dead...

Rotting...

Katheryne was grnted permission.

Her rouge system went back to normal and she returned to Mondstadt with Aether and Paimon in her hands.

"Hey Katheryne. Didn't expect to see you outside the rec-" Bennett said before suddenly falling on the ground.

"Katheryne! What the fuck!?" an adventurer shouted.

Katheryne's head rotated 180 degrees to face him.

The adventurer started running before he too was eliminated
